OpenAI has added a feature to ChatGPT, allowing users to get a personalized overview of ChatGPT usage for 2025.This summary is similar to the annual reviews from companies like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and other services.
ChatGPT: How does the new summary feature work?
ChatGPT offers an overview of topics discussed and chat statistics, such as the busiest day for chats, the total number of chats, messages sent, and more. ChatGPT provides each user with a chat style based on their writing or speaking habits, along with an “archetype” based on their ChatGPT usage.

This move is not accidental. The big platforms know that users love to see themselves through statistics, especially when they are presented in an interactive and personalized. OpenAI, with the new summary feature, shows that ChatGPT is not just a productivity or information tool, but a digital companion that “remembers” and analyzes its relationship with the user.
The new summary feature reveals OpenAI's strategy: ChatGPT is evolving from a tool to an experience platform. Personalization, data storytelling, and emotional connection are elements that until recently we mainly encountered in social and entertainment apps. Now, they are dynamically moving into the field of artificial intelligence.
